Hello everybody:

I have a few problems with various codebases, because I'm looking for a codebase wich convince me to start with my own mud.

I saw the following codebases:

lop1.38r2
fear2.1.3

When I compile the first one, there isn't any problem during the compiling, but when I'm going to start the mud, with Cygwin, tells me:

~/lop/area
Tue Mar 16 2:39:03PM 2010 :: Loading Calendar...
Tue Mar 16 2:39:03PM 2010 :: load_calendarinfo: couldn't open system/calendarin

Tue Mar 16 2:39:03PM 2010 :: [*****] BUG: load_specfuns: can't read system/spec
funs.dat, exiting.
system/specfuns.dat: No such file or directory

but in my system directory there are these files:

$ ls
calendarinfo.dat herbs.dat mssp.dat skills.dat tongues.dat
commands.dat highscores.dat mudtitle.ans socials.dat weather.dat
firstimm hints.dat mudtitle.asc specfuns.dat
fnames.dat morph.dat mwresets.dat sysdata.dat
help.dat mpdamage.dat reserved.lst timeinfo.dat

Could someone tell me what is happening?

then, when I tryed to compile the second one, it makes me a few warnings, but it seems to compile Ok, but when I try to start it, it tells me that is stumped, and I don't know why. Any help?

Thanks for all.

For your first problem I suggest using gdb.

http://mushclient.com/gdb

I think I had a problem like that a while back, and the file was there and everything, but using gdb it turned out it was opening it twice, or in the wrong directory or something.

Put a breakpoint on the line (or just above) where it says "can't read system/specfuns.dat" and see why. Maybe it opens it twice, maybe the path is wrong, maybe the permissions as wrong.

As for the second example, can't say without seeing error messages.

Hello:

Thanks Nick again, It seems that it has been fixed making a breakpoint where you have said.
